Biometric technologies raise a number of ethical and legal concerns, as has been well-documented by recent European FP7 projects. The TABULA RASA Workshop offers a wonderful opportunity to address the central ethical issues raised by biometrics, spoofing, and anti-spoofing countermeasures.This two-day workshop is organised around three main round tables: "In Biometrics We Trust?""; "From Biometric to Augmented Human Recognition"; "The Ethical and Legal Context".

The workshop promoted animated and vigorous discussion of the central ethical and legal issues concerning anti-spoofing measures in biometrics. Roundtable discussion after each speech and response highlighted conflicts and consensus. These are documented by the Centre for Science, Society and Citizenship, and made available via TABULA RASA’s dissemination activities (e.g. via the project website www.tabularasa-euproject.org).
